Minto woman faces serious firearms charges
Kaitlyn Diana McIntyre, 30, accused of having shotgun with defaced serial number
A Minto woman will return to court next month after being charged last week with firearms crimes stemming from her alleged possession of shotguns, including one with an altered serial number.
Kaitlyn Diana McIntyre, 30, of Mainfield Lane in Minto, made her first appearance in Fredericton provincial court Oct. 12 to face four criminal charges relating to a firearm.
She’s accused of possessing a non-restricted firearm (a Mossberg 12-gauge shotgun) without a licence, possessing it knowing she didn’t have a licence for it, possessing a Cooey 12-gauge shotgun knowing its serial number had been defaced, and careless storage of the Mossberg shotgun.
All four counts allege events in Fredericton on July 4.
McIntyre told court Thursday she intended on hiring private defence counsel and needed time to do that.
Judge Scott Brittain adjourned the matter for election of mode of trial and pleas to Nov. 2 to allow her to retain counsel and to obtain disclosure of the Crown file against her.
